It has contracted Punta Islita Hotel, an eco-resort tucked in a hillside and rainforest.
Guests can enjoy top class dining and a range of included activities such as art workshops, bird-watching and hiking.
Guests then embark Star Clipper for a seven-night sailing from Puerto Caldera to Quepos, Golfito, Playa Panama, Bahia Potrero and Islas Tortugas.
